The Tawasin of Mansur Al-Hallaj - A Mystical Treatise on Knowing God, & Invitation to the Dance

Mansur Al-Hallaj wrote many works in both prose and poetry. His best known written work is the Kitab al-Tawasin (كتاب الطواسين). Mansur Al-Hallaj - a
medieval Muslim mystic records his living meditation on becoming one with God,
where he likens himself to a moth leaping into flame: In that bright instant,
wings aflame, Reduced to fragments of his name, The moth-ash shows his body's
form Where no mark will distinguish him. Mevlana Rumi wrote three centuries
later on Al-Hallaj's words, 'I am God, ': "People imagine that it is a
presumptive claim, whereas I find it is really a presumptive claim to say 'I am
the slave of God'; for, 'I am God' is an expression of great humility. The man
who says 'I am the slave of God' affirms two existences, his own and God's; but
he that says, 'I am God, ' has made himself non-existent and has given himself
up, and says 'I am God, ' that is, 'I am naught, He is all; there is no being
but God's.' This is the extreme of humility and self-abasement."This Book included the chapters:
